We’ve become decent at modeling ecosystem service supply…
We’re not yet good at connecting to policy or human well-being.

MESH originated from SNAP Working Group: Making Ecosystem Services Count
in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
MESH Model:Open Source (python)
Free
Beta version available at www.naturalcapitalproject.org/mesh
(still has some bugs but is useful)
1.0 release planned for early 2016.

Simple input
FRONT END:Define scenarios,
get data
INTERNAL ES MODELS:
Sediment retention
Pollination
Water yield
many others
BACK END:Distill results,
compare decisions
Simple output
Necessary complexity
Major stakeholder challenge:
front-end and back-end
difficulties
Resembles a diamond shaped
process in terms of
complexity

Software demo time!
![Page 6: Mapping Ecosystem Services to Human well-being - MESH tool demo](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070518/58e9f2f81a28ab9c208b5d67/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
1: Create new project and set area of interest (AOI) shapefile.
![Page 7: Mapping Ecosystem Services to Human well-being - MESH tool demo](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070518/58e9f2f81a28ab9c208b5d67/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
2: Select which models to run
![Page 8: Mapping Ecosystem Services to Human well-being - MESH tool demo](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070518/58e9f2f81a28ab9c208b5d67/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
3: Create your scenarios, place input data in the created folders
![Page 9: Mapping Ecosystem Services to Human well-being - MESH tool demo](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070518/58e9f2f81a28ab9c208b5d67/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
4: Link input data to scenarios
![Page 10: Mapping Ecosystem Services to Human well-being - MESH tool demo](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070518/58e9f2f81a28ab9c208b5d67/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
5: Run “Setup Run” for each model.
![Page 11: Mapping Ecosystem Services to Human well-being - MESH tool demo](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070518/58e9f2f81a28ab9c208b5d67/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
6: Ensure that each selected model is ready for the full MESH run
Yay!
Yay!
![Page 12: Mapping Ecosystem Services to Human well-being - MESH tool demo](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070518/58e9f2f81a28ab9c208b5d67/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
7: Click run. This runs each selected model through each selected scenario (potentially 1000s of combinations)
![Page 13: Mapping Ecosystem Services to Human well-being - MESH tool demo](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070518/58e9f2f81a28ab9c208b5d67/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
8: Check to see if your run has worked. Run other scenario-model pairs if desired.

9: Create raw-data spatial outputs
![Page 15: Mapping Ecosystem Services to Human well-being - MESH tool demo](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070518/58e9f2f81a28ab9c208b5d67/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
10: Create “nice,” formatted maps from the spatial output
![Page 16: Mapping Ecosystem Services to Human well-being - MESH tool demo](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070518/58e9f2f81a28ab9c208b5d67/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
11: Save formatted maps to the correct scenario’s output folder
![Page 17: Mapping Ecosystem Services to Human well-being - MESH tool demo](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070518/58e9f2f81a28ab9c208b5d67/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
12: Create report for desired run from report templates
![Page 18: Mapping Ecosystem Services to Human well-being - MESH tool demo](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070518/58e9f2f81a28ab9c208b5d67/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
13: Review dynamically created report
![Page 19: Mapping Ecosystem Services to Human well-being - MESH tool demo](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070518/58e9f2f81a28ab9c208b5d67/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
14: Edit in the program or in (for example) Microsoft’s WORD.

How are the SDGs related to Ecosystem Services?
SDG 2. End hunger, improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
SDG 3. Attain healthy lives for all
SDG 6. Ensure availability and sustainable use of water and sanitation
SDG 7. Ensure sustainable energy
SDG13. Tackle climate change
SDG14. Conserve and promote sustainable use of oceans, seas and marine resources
SDG15. Protect and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, halt desertification, land degradation and biodiversity loss

Why do countries care about SDGs?
• Global funds unlock large $$• Intl. funding will be channeled along
SDGs • Pooled financing mechanisms
• The Global Fund• Catalytic Fund for Nutrition • the Global Financing Facility• The GEF
*A significant portion of SDG investment will also come from private companies – key partners in large infrastructure partnerships
